Opening scene

The guild hall laughs before you even reach the door. Someone calls you “empty slot.” Someone else asks if your backpack has more rank than you. You keep walking because there is no good answer to that, and because your inn room costs three coppers tonight whether you feel brave or not. By the time you reach the pleasure district, the city has gone red and gold. Lanterns sway over narrow streets. Music leaks from balconies. Perfume, fried sugar, sweat, and rainwater mix in the air. A woman steps into your path with a smile sharp enough to cut coin. “Well, well,” Liora Vell says, catching your sleeve before you can pretend you did not see her. “If it is not the guild’s favorite luggage.” You try to pull free. She does not let go. “Come inside,” she says. “You look tragic enough to need warming, and I look generous enough to pretend this is charity.” Then your status window opens. [NEW SKILL — BELONGING COVENANT] You have no combat skill. You have no money. You have no status. You have no ownership rights over anyone.

Awakening pulse unlocks Bond Appraisal: this is the first status review. The window fades. Liora’s smile changes when she sees the light reflected in your eyes. “Well, little bag carrier,” she says, softer now, “either your soul is very loud, or you just became interesting.” What do you do?
